TESOL Accreditation

Internationally Recognized Since 2003

OnTESOL’s courses have been evaluated and accredited by two separate, independent accrediting bodies: The UK-based Accreditation for TESOL Distance Education Courses (ACTDEC) and TESL Canada. These organizations have scrutinized OnTESOL’s courses and given their official recognition of their veracity as teacher training programs. As a result, completion of Ontesol’s courses confers upon students an additional recognized status. In addition to receiving certification from Coventry House International-OnTESOL, graduates may apply for the appropriate certification from ACTDEC and TESL Canada (TESL Canada is equivalent to CELTA and Trinity CertTESOL worldwide).

Accreditation and Requirements:

250-hour TESOL Diploma

Completion of this program leads to the following 3 certifications:

1- On successful completion of the 250-hour TESOL Diploma program, you will receive the 250-hour TESOL Diploma awarded by Coventry House International-OnTESOL.

2- You will also receive an ACTDEC Level 5 certificate under the seal of the Council when you register at actdec.org.uk.

3- You will also be eligible for TESL Canada Professional Standard 2 certification on completion of a 50-hour Practicum and other accreditation requirements (See below).

Those who wish to be eligible for TESL Canada certification must successfully complete the online TESOL program, the Practicum and meet the following requirements:

-Minimum age: 21

-A completed university degree from Canada or its equivalency (Students without a university degree can still enroll in the Advanced 120-hour TESOL Certificate or 250-hour TESOL Diploma program and receive a TESOL certification awarded by OnTESOL upon successful completion of the program, but they are informed that TESL Canada requires an undergraduate degree from Canada or its equivalency).

-Non-native speakers who have not completed a university degree in an English speaking country must obtain a valid English Proficiency Score before applying to TESL Canada accreditation. From October 1st, 2015 onward TESL Canada will accept only IELTS Academic (Overall 7 with a minimum of 7 in each skill area) and TOEFL iBT (Overall 101 with a minimum of 23 in Listening, 24 in Reading, 27 in Speaking and 27 in Writing).
